Council Direction Statement
This work corresponds with Carrboro Connects Chapter 4: Climate Action & Environment, Goal 1: Conserve and restore watersheds, ecosystems, and native species.
The current underground fuel storage tanks have exceeded their recommended lifespan and are also situated in the floodplain of Morgan Creek. Removing these tanks and replacing them with aboveground fuel tanks will help to substantially reduce the risk of soil and waterway contamination associated with fuel storage.
